It was the middle of the night when Rachel woke up hearing whispering. She shared the room with her younger sister Aliana. Being already 18 years old, she was usually very respectful. It was not like her to be talking on the phone with someone this late at night. "What is going on? Who are you talking to at this hour?" Rachel turned over to scold her siste...
I'm at my gynecologist's office for my regular pelvic exam. This is my first visit with this doctor -- she was recommended to me by my regular doctor last month when he announced that he was leaving his practice. The nurse ushers me into the examination room, takes my temperature, blood pressure, all the usual stuff. Then she tells me to undress and put on...
Malena was in her room, talking with her best friend Renee. The last two weeks, they had been discussing their next adventure. This would not be just one more escapade to the nearest town or a fling with one of the low level scientists. Their new plan was risky, maybe even dangerous. But they couldn't resist the idea of investigating the greatest discovery i...

Kyrsi was 19 years old, assigned to the communications depar...
Aylin analyzed every electric circuit but she couldn't find the glitch that was keeping her spacecraft from reaching hyper speed. Her fuel pods were running on empty and there were no space ports close enough to provide shelter. Lucky for her, a small dot showed up on her long range scanner and she adjusted the curse accordingly. When she got closer to the...
The Agent Author's Note: I'm about to have surgery again on my hands. To write I used a talk to text program that isn't always accurate. If you like my work, please consider helping me edit so I can publish the dozens of backlogged stories in this series. For Rachel World War T is a series of independent, vaguely interconnected stories about different ten...
Thanks to Todger 65 for the edit. As Betty Gregg finished washing her dishes after a solitary but rather pleasant dinner, she heard a gurgle and turned to find herself confronting a giant, slimy slug. Her first thought was, "Oh no! A giant slimy slug!" Her second thought was, "Oh God! Another alien!" And her final thought was "Oh damn! It's making a mess on...
The jungle outside the smoking remains of the crashed spaceship teemed with life. Charred metal was strewn through the exotic undergrowth. The automatic fire suppressant system slowly oozed to a stop, those robotic arms which had survived Galileo 12's impacted into the uncharted planet discharged the last of the CO-laced foam and retreated into protected pod...
